I find this difficult to decipher.  Who is it aimed at ?

I've just updated to Udev 200 .  Following the news item,
I renamed  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules :
my script to start my I/net connection with DHCP failed.
I restored the file to its old name & all works as usual :
it has 'NAME="eth0"'.

I am always aware of & grateful for the unpaid efforts of Gentoo devs,
but I'm not pleased with confused or confusing news items.

The first thing any news item should make clear is its audience :
"If you are using ABC or belong to the group describable as DEF,
then you need to do GHI".  Clearly, I don't fall into the group
at whom the Udev news item is aimed, perhaps those with  > 1  net card.
What proportion of Gentoo users fall into that group ?

HTH improve news items.
